Dozens of protesters paraded through Folkestone against the closure of Pent Valley College.

Parents and campaigners fighting to show the school should stay open turned out yesterday to march along Cheriton High Street to the school gates.

The Save Pent Valley group organised the demonstration as it does not believe Kent County Council has carried out proper procedure over the consultation for the proposed closure that was announced in December.

Around 100 campaigners, of all ages, turned out for the protest, holding banners and placards to signal their frustrations.
